Come and paint with Lauren May SK in her four week watercolour series ‘Fruit & Form’. Learn how the depiction of light and shadow on a subject informs the viewer's understanding of its form and texture.
By studying light, colour theory and by practising watercolour techniques you will build the skills and knowledge needed to create a convincing illusion of a 3D object on a 2D surface. Whether it be a gleaming, shiny apple or a soft and fuzzy peach it will look like it's sitting there on the page!
Whether you’re a beginner starting your watercolour journey, or an experienced artist, this workshop will help you enhance your skills and add a new level of detail and realism to your work.
